What is sexual dysfunction in women?

When sex with a partner is not pleasurable for a woman with diabetes, sexual dysfunction is most likely the cause.

There are many different factors involved in the sexual well-being of women with diabetes… many stresses that could interfere with a satisfying experience. Uncontrolled blood sugar levels can lead to complications that effect one’s sex life and cause sexual dysfunctions.

Women with diabetes experience a higher rate of sexual problems than women without diabetes because the tissue and nerve supply of a woman’s sexual organs may be affected by high blood glucose levels in much the same way a man’s sexual organs are affected.
